Description
The Irish Sea has played a pivotal role in world history, its waters carrying both Vikings and saints, invasion forces, royals and rebels, writers, musicians and fishermen. In this comprehensive and engaging biography, Jon Gower explores the complex and often turbulent history of this vital sea passage. From the shipyards of Belfast to the mass exodus of the starving during the Irish Famine, Gower charts the migrations of working men and women, as well as the tales of casual travellers. He also delves into the natural history of the Irish Sea, revealing its abundant wildlife and the stories it holds. With a keen eye for detail and a lyrical writing style, Gower brings this remarkable body of water to life.
